Public housing tenants stay on after cannabis, $139k found

Two public housing tenants have been allowed to remain in their taxpayer-subsidised home for more than a year, despite police accusing them of using it as a drug den.

Jason Dean Lynch and Mark Anthony Lynch were both charged after a police raid on their commission house uncovered $139,000 in cash and 1.5kg of cannabis in May last year.

While the pair will reappear in the Queensland District Court on Friday, Mark Lynch told 9NEWS that the Housing Department hadn't made any inquiries about what had happened at the property, which also contains three cars, two trailers and a boat.

Jason Lynch declined to comment on who owned the vehicles, instead telling 9news to "f--- off."

The father and son, who claim they are on pensions, also refused to comment on how the drugs and cash came to be in their property, but stated the cash was not able to be used to pay rent somewhere else.

Housing Minister Mick De Brenni also declined to be interviewed, and neither the Department or the Minister's office responded to emailed questions.
